Hmmm, Not sure the Australian Government will okay that but I hope it happens.

It will be of interest to see what conditions  they apply....

and even more interesting to see if they will be accepted. 🛳🤔😷😷😯

PM said with regard to a bubble with NZ it had to be all States or none.  I wonder if that will be the case with cruising?

"Now, the Cruise Lines International Association, the Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd and the Queensland Tourism Industry Council are exploring “Queensland-only cruises” from the new terminal."

 

I wish them all the best, but the chances of this happening before a vaccine are Buckley's and none. 😞

Apparently the Queensland Premier has all ready poured cold water on this and said NO! 😮 😞

Didn't the PM say before that the slowest states shouldn't hold the rest of them back.  Guess that rule doesn't apply because it's NSW.

It was the CHO not the premier. We have seen how Covid Hotspots leach into restriction free areas as it has done with dishonest people.

Thanks, a friend travelling solo went on that ship up north, very, very expensive, like $1000 a day for her solo. She enjoyed it though, first class, she did the Kimberleys, Broome, Darwin, about a 10 day trip. There is a youtube doco on that sort of itinerary, worth looking at.

Yes, they aren’t cheap as they’re operating with all Australian registration, officers and crew and everything that comes with that.  Their itineraries are amazing including Tasmania, Queensland and the Kimberley.  One day, eh!
